Teaching Violence

LETTERS FROM READERS

December 19, 1998

IF YOU take a loving puppy and show it a lot of violence, you will have a very mean dog. It is the same with a loving child. With all the violence that children see on television, why are we surprised at the young age of violent criminals?

Television shows that violence is a normal way of life. The sad part is that television is a baby-sitter and mentor for some kids. Hollywood is against censorship and thinks that it should show what it wants. All that matters to Hollywood are ratings and money. Unfortunately for our children, money rules over common sense.
